Medical Radiation Soars, With Risks Often Overlooked

Posted on by

“CT scans alone, which deliver 100 to 500 times the radiation associated with an ordinary X-ray and now provide three-fourths of Americans’ radiation exposure, are believed to account for 1.5 percent of all cancers that occur in the United States.  Patients may be surprised to learn that some of the newest uses of radiological imaging, including CT scans of coronary arteries to look for calcium buildup, have not yet been tested in scientifically designed clinical trials, and thus their true benefits are at best a guess.”

More ObamaCare Taxes Taxpayers Don’t Know About

Posted on by

“Grand total: $494 billion, or almost four percent of the country’s gross domestic product to be extracted and transferred to the federal government.  Two of those five ObamaCare taxes are especially onerous: the increase in the Hospital Insurance (HI) portion of the payroll tax that employers are required to send to Washington, and the application of that increase not only to wages but to investment income as well.”

The case of Brandon Raub: Can the government detain you over Facebook posts?

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/3568409530_389bce008b_z_s640x4271.jpg

“Without a warrant or recitation of his Miranda rights, Raub was handcuffed and taken into custody. After a quick hearing, government officials confirmed that Raub’s Facebook posts necessitated his detention, refusing to acknowledge legal objections that the words were wrongly interpreted. The former Marine will undergo 30 days of evaluation at Salem VA Medical Center.  Since the incident, Raub has become an online hero as the arrest video and Facebook pages teeter on the verge of going viral.”

Ruby Ridge: The Age of State Terrorism Begins

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/weaver-family2.jpg

“The Feds weren’t pursuing Richard Lee Guthrie for the purpose of solving a crime; they were hunting him as part of a nation-wide drive to tie up loose ends in what was either a criminally inept ‘sting’ operation, or a full-fledged false-flag attack at Oklahoma City. Once Kenneth Trentadue became another loose end, he was tortured and beaten to death — but his brother, God bless him, was determined to pull as hard as he could on the few frayed threads he could find.”

The Road to the Permanent Warfare State, Part 13

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/logo6.gif

“The rediscovery of the anti-militarist tradition requires illumination and enlightenment. Americans should remember the time in their history when demobilizing most of the armed forces once a war was over was the accepted practice and when many Americans were suspicious of large standing-military establishments. That is a policy that goes back to the English Civil War and Glorious Revolution, wars in which large militaries were judged dangerous for British liberties.”

Glenn Greenwald: Human rights critics of Russia and Ecuador parade their own hypocrisy

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Pussy-Riot-0102.jpg

“Readers of the American and British press have been inundated with righteous condemnations of Ecuador’s poor record on press freedoms. Is this because western media outlets have suddenly developed a new-found devotion to defending civil liberties in Latin America? Please. I would take more seriously all of this very inspirational, newfound worry about Ecuadorian press freedoms and Russian free speech rights if they evinced any similar interest in infringements and abuses by their own governments and their allies: ones much more difficult, though much more consequential, to oppose.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Pussy Riot, The Unfortunate Dupes of Amerikan Hegemony

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/withkitties_150_1203.jpg

“The chances were good that after six months Putin would see that the women are released. But, of course, that would not serve the propaganda of the Amerikan Empire. The instructions to the Washington-financed fifth column in Russia will be to make any government leniency for Pussy Riot impossible.  Washington-organized protests, riots, property damage, assaults on state and religious images by Washington’s Russian dupes can make it impossible for Putin to stand up to nationalist opinion and commute the sentences of the Pussy Riot women.”

Consider keeping Bernanke, top Romney adviser says

Posted on by

“Ben Bernanke received an unlikely defense of his work at the U.S. Federal Reserve by a top Mitt Romney adviser, who said on Tuesday that he should be considered for a third term as chairman.  Glenn Hubbard, economic adviser to the Republican presidential candidate, said he would advise a possible President Romney that Bernanke should ‘get every consideration’ to stay on beyond January 2014, when the chairman’s current term expires.”

Republicans to declare ‘We Built This!’ in stadium built with government funds

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/tampabayarena_120822c-615x3451.jpg

“The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced this week that it would craft its convention theme around President Barack Obama’s ‘You didn’t build that’ remark — and the party will unveil that message in an arena that was mostly built with government funds.  The Daily Dolt noted on Wednesday that part of the GOP message may be undermined by the fact that the Tampa Bay Times Forum arena — where the convention is being held — was financed with $86 million in public money.”

MassGOP Chair Bob Maginn and former Congressmen could face jailtime for political and financial corruption

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Bob-Maginn-wife-3251.jpg

“If these charges are found to be true, the current Massachusetts Republican Chairman Bob Maginn will undoubtedly face criminal charges and jail time for trading business transactions and jobs at Jenzabar for political donations from the likes of former Congressmen Peter Blute and Peter Torkildsen, both of whom have donated tens of thousands of dollars to the party since December 2011 when Maginn was elected MassGOP Chairman.”
